Photographer Mária ’Švarbová’s distinctive style departs from traditional portraiture by focusing on experimentation with space, color, and atmosphere.
In her work, “the human body is more or less a peripheral afterthought, often portrayed as aloof and demure rather than substantive. These carefully composed figures create thematic, dream-like scenes with ordinary objects. Her images hold a silent tension that hints at emergent possibilities under the lilt of clean and smooth surfaces. ” – Galerie LeRoyer in Montreal, which represents her.
Mária Švarbová currently lives in Slovakia. The recipient of several prestigious awards (including Hasselblad Masters Award), her solo and group exhibitions have placed her among the vanguard of her contemporaries, attracting features in Vogue, Forbes, CNN, The Guardian, and publications around the world. Her rising reputation has also earned her a spot on the coveted 30 under 30 Forbes list as well as a commission for a billboard-sized promotion on the massive Taipei 101 tower, in Taiwan.
